Layoffs spread to head office at Sun International
Various functions, including marketing and ops, will be centralised
Sun International, a prominent gaming operator, is set to begin consultations for office job cuts across its headquarters, as part of its ongoing productivity initiatives. CEO Ulrik Bengtsson confirmed these plans during the group's interim results presentation earlier this month, stating that the company is implementing a "low-cost operating model" at three of its smallest casinos - Golden Valley, Meropa, and Windmill.
The goal of this new "Casino Lite" model is to enhance productivity, positioning, and returns. Bengtsson mentioned that the company's financial discipline strategy focuses on finding solutions for underperforming assets and improving operational efficiency. The layoffs at the head office functions are expected to affect various departments such as sales and marketing, human resources, operations, finance, and IT.
While the exact number of affected roles remains unclear, it's possible that the number could exceed 100.
